A patient weighing 209 lbs. is suspected of being in stage 2 of an acute kidney injury. If the nurse uses the standard output of 0.5 mL/kg/hr, what is the maximum amount of urine that this patient should produce for 18 hours to confirm this stage of kidney injury? Record your answer rounding to the nearest whole number.
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
855 mL
To calculate this patient's weight in kilograms, divide the weight in lbs. by 2.2. The patient weighs 209 lbs. divided by 2.2 = 95 kg. Then use the equation 0.5 mL × 95 = 47.5 mL/hr. To calculate the maximum amount of urine that this patient should produce over 18 hours, multiple the hourly amount of 47.5 mL × 18 = 855 mL.
